seat in the sand

Filed Under snapshots, travelin' moon |

I looked out my window.
I walked straight to the beach.
I took off my shoes and rolled up my jeans.
And I sat my ass down in the soft sand to stare out across Lake Michigan.
And right there, I found my calm. She was right next to me.
I then walked clear across the city to take in the moon over the river.

I happened to capture this in the following photos…
i looked out my window I walked straight to the beach
I took off my shoes and rolled up my jeans
And I say my ass down in the soft sand I stared out across Lake Michigan
And there sat my calm, right next to me As you can see, I spent the afternoon wandering around Chicago, which did wonders in the way of clearing my head of stress and anxiety and fear. It was a lovely afternoon spent all by myself…

    My heart hurts knowing you have so much stress, anxiety and fear. And I am proud of the fact you found a way to abate it and found your calm.
